ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 



Introduction. 

There are ten events on the programme of the Ail-Around 
Athletic Championship of America, namely : the 100-yard dash, 
high jump, long jump, pole jump, throwing 16-pound hammer, 
putting 16-pound shot, throwing 56-pound weight, 120-yard 
hurdle race, half-mile walk 
and one-mile run. The com- 
petitor who can score the 
highest percentage on the 
programme wins the title of 
Ail-Around Champion. It at 
times happens though that a 
man not proficient in all the 
events will make a good 
showing; as for instance, a 
man may bo a first-class 
weight-thrower and a poor 
runner or jumper; and on 
the other hand a good sprin- 
ter may be a bad weight- 
thrower; then in both cases 
the mark scored in their par- 
ticular specialty will par- 
tially make up for their deliciency in the other events. How- 
ever, we have found that the winner was generally a man 
who could average a fair performance through the programme. 

We live in an age of athletic wonders, and in order to be in 
the front rank we should stick to one particular form of ath- 
letics. But there are men who can perform at everything and 
be first-class at one event ; and to those and others of fair all- 
around ability we direct the following remarks and suggest a 
fixed routine for their guidance.

Proper Dimensions of an Ail-Around Athlete and 
the Muscles Used in Each Event. 

The following measurements will be found a fair average of 
the dimensions of an all-around athlete, and may be taken as 
a fair guide of what the proportions of the limbs should be 
respectively : 

Height. . . . 5 ft. 6 in. 5 ft. 8 in. 5 ft. 10 in. 6 ft. 

Weight.. . 120 lbs. 140 lbs. 155 lbs. 1G8 lbs. 

Chest 35 in. 37 in. 39 in. 40 in. 

Waist 27 in. 28 in. 20 in. 31 in. 

Hips 34 in. &5% in. 37 in. 38 in. 

Thigh 20 in. 21 in. 22 in. 23 in. 

Calf 13% in. 14 in. 14% in. 15 in. 

As regards the muscles that are used in the various exer- 
cises, it may be remarked that though perhaps in any one 
exercise nearly all the principal muscles of the body are 
brought into action, yet there are two or three on which the 
real strain comes, and on the strength and quickness of which 
most of the proficiency depends. 

In high jumping, the front muscles of the thigh are princi- 
pally used. They are attached at one end to the top part of 
the thigh bone, at the other to the knee cap, which passes 
over the knee and is fixed to the top part of the shin bone. In 
the act of jumping, theso muscles contract violently, and 
straighten the leg with a jerk, the quickness of which mainly 
contributes to the height of the jump. 

In long jumping, the muscles of the back part of the thigh 
are used ; front muscles are also used. These are attached to 
the back part of the shin bone at one end, and to the lower 
part of the pelvis at the other, and by contracting, draw the 
leg backwards on the trunk. This action is also assisted by 
the glutseris maximus, which is fixed at one end of the top 
part of the thigh, at the other to the lowest part of the verte- 
bras column. 

In long-distance running, the front and back muscles of the 
thigh are used in equal proportions ; the former in raising the 
body at every stride, the latter in propelling it forward. But 
in the case of running on the toes, the calf of the leg will be 




E, W. GOFF. 



ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 7 

the weak part; so much so that no amount of practice will 
enable some men to run any distance on their toes. 

In sprinting-, the front muscles of the thigh, which lie near- 
est to the trunk, bring the leg forward in the rapid repetition 
of the strides. These are a different set from those that 
straighten the leg, and are used in long-distanco running; 
they are attached at one end to the lower and front part of tho

pelvis, and at the other end to the hip part of the thigh bone. 
The back muscles of the thigh are the same that are used in 
long-distance running for propelling the body forward. A 
narrow pelvis is a great assistance in this, as indeed in all 
running; for on the narrowness of the pelvis facility in re- 
peating the strides principally depends. 

In throwing the hammer and 56, more depends on the swing 
than on the strength of any particular muscle, though the 
strain comes more particularly on the small of the back, that 
is, on the muscles which raise and keep the back erect, and 
are attached to all the vertebras of the spine.

111 putting the shot, the muscles called particularly into 
action are the front part of the deltoid, which is attached to 
the top part of the arm, and at the other end to the collar 
bone, and brings the arm upwards and forward ; the top part 
of the pectoral muscle, which also runs from the top of the 
arm to the collar bone, and brings the arm forward; the tri- 
ceps, which are fixed at one end of the shoulder and shoulder 
blade and at the other end of t 1 e fore-arm, below the elbow,

and extend the arm at the elbow joint. The put is also as- 
sisted by a simultaneous spring with the legs and a rapid 
move of the body. 

In walking, the muscles of the whole body are brought into 
action more than in any other exercise we have alluded to. 
The arms and back assist the legs greatly in changing the 
balance of the body and in bringing the hips forward at each 
stride. The calf of the leg has much work to do, even as much 
as in running on the toes. The muscle, however, that suffers 
most is that which rises on the outside of the shin-bone, near 
the knee, and runs down the leg, crossing the shin near the 
ankle, to be inserted near the inside of the sole of the foot. 
This muscle rises the foot, and draws it back towards the leg

at the end of the stride, and also points the heel at the com- 
mencement; so that in fast walking it has no rest, and con- 
sequently becomes very painful. The front ami back muscles 
of the thigh also come in for a large ^hare of the work. 

Amount of Work to do each Day. 

Before a man begins to train for the all-around champion- 
ship he should have a good substratum of health and strength

to start upon. If he is out of condition, and fat and flabby 
from laziness and high living, it will do him no harm to take 
several Turkish baths at intervals to begin with. Some 
smart five-mile walks followed by a good rubbing down with 
a rough towel will soon make him fit to begin his training, if 
he has in the meantime kept regular hours and lived on a 
modicum of good healthy food of the kind which he is usually 
accustomed. Without this preliminary care, not only will ho

get stiff and jaded by beginning violent exercise too quickly, 
but he will incur the greatest possible chance of straining or 
snapping a muscle, and thus placing himself hors de combat 
for a season. Granting, however, that our aspirant is, from 
the effects of football, walking, or tennis, in fair ordinary con- 
dition, we will follow his course through the different events 
and for each day of the week. 

Monday— The athlete should practice about fifteen start 
of the hundred yards. As it is now admitted on all sides

that starting on ail-fours is the safest method. The com- 
petitor can hold his mark for any length of time, and will 
always have full confidence in himself. He should dig a hole 
for both feet, one about nine inches behind the other. When 
on his mark he should hold his legs well up under his body, 
as the straighter the knees are the more strength will be im- 
parted to the thighs in propelling the body forward. This 
sprinting practice should end with the athlete running about 
seventy-five yards at full speed. Without delay he should 
then essay live or six starts over the hurdles. The obstacles 
should be placed the regulation distance from each other, and 



14 



ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 



the trainer should at all times remember and clear them 
without hesitation. Two or three hurdles are enough at each 
start. Immediately he should take some trials at the 16-pound 
shot and hammer. Six trials at each weight must be taken 
and these alternately. We do not, for a moment, intend to 
offer any advice on the best method or advocate any particular 
style in this work for the matter has been exhaustively dealt 
with by experts in two numbers of this library, notably— the

Athletes' Guide and College Athletics. However, we would 
advise that the hammer be swung as loose as possible, and 
the strength of the body be brought in to play in the effort of 
putting the shot. A shower bath or good sponging should 
be taken immediately; and followed by a brisk toweling. 

Tuesday— Eunning broad jump, pole jump and throwing 
the 56-pound weight should be the order on Tuesday. The 
running broad jump requires less preparation than any other 
event on the programme, consequently, if the athlete be a fair 
juniper, four or live trials will suffice. He should try and get 
up in the air as much as possible. A good plan to practice

this important feature is to stretch a line across the landing 
turf about eighteen inches high and about seventeen feet from 
the take-off. To clear this at each trial will give the habit of 
getting well up in the air. The pole jump should be com- 
menced at a height of about seven feet, and gradually raised 
until the limit is reached, when the athlete should retire to 
the 56-pound weight. This is an event that requires the least

indulgence of any on the all-around programme; only six or 
seven trials should be taken. The weight should be swung 
with both hands over the head, and great care should be ex- 
ercised, as even the strongest performers at the game are 
constantly liable to strain. Tuesday's work should wind up 
with a gentle jog of half a mile, well up on the toes, and fol- 
lowed with a bath and rub down. 

Wednesday— The day's work should commence with some 
high jumping, followed by starts and sprints over the hurdles. 
Putting the shot and throwing the hammer should be again 
indulged in, and a half-mile walk at a good lively gait 



16 



ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 



Thursday— Pole jumping and broad jumping, followed up 
by a three-quarter mile run at a lively gait in order to bring 
on a fair perspiration. 

Friday— This should be practically a day of rest, but it is 
best to do a little at the 56-pound weight and a walk of one 
mile. 

The whole programme should be gone through on Saturday, 
when the athlete should be assisted by a friend or two who 




will act as timers and measurers. To some this might appear 
to be too much on a Saturday, but the rest of the Sunday fol- 
lowing will bring the athlete back again to his old condition. 



Training and Dieting. 

Of the very oldest system of training, which is now thor- 
oughly obselete, little need bo said, as no amateur of recent 
years has thought of following it. It was a method which 



ALL-AEOUND ATHLETICS. 



17 



may be called pre-athletic, as it was, in fact, nothing but 
adopted for training for the prize ring. The -weight was to be 
reduced to its minimum at all hazards; the liquid consumed 
was to be a maximum of two pints a day ; the edibles were al- 
most entirely meat and bread, and the natural physical result 
of such a diet was counteracted by daily purging medicines. 
Sweating, meat eating and purging constituted the old system 




RUNNING HIGH JUMP, 



of training ; and those who wonder how such a custom could 
ever have been adopted must recollect that it was chiefly ap- 
plied to men of the lower class, used to coarse food, and with 
no highly organized nervous system. It needs no argument 
to show that such a method could not be beneficial, or even 
practicable, to an amateur who takes up athletic sports as a 
recreation and not as a business. 

However, while from the first amateurs admitted that the 
old plan was wrong, a movement happened which is well 
known to historians— the old creed was overthrown. 



18 AIiIj-AROUND athletics. 

There is certainly this apparent justification for the tradi- 
tional course, that, as a rule, people in modern times do not 
adopt as frugal and temperate a habit of diet as they should, 
and a great many of them are either without the inclination 
or without the opportunity of taking sufficient exercise. 
There is no reason why an athlete who desires to get fit 
should lead other than a natural life, or alter an ordinary 
natural diet more than is rendered necessary by the increased 
amount of exercise which he has to take. Another difficulty 
which arises in laying down any regimen for training is the 
indubitable physical fact that no two men are alike in their 
internal economy any more than they are in their outward 
features; and when proverbial philosophy informs us that 
" one man's food is another man's poison," it becomes impos- 
sible to speak merely from practical experience with any ab- 
solute confidence. When, however, it is understood that the 
problem," What should an athlete eat and drink when in train- 
ing?" resolves itself into nothing more than this, " What is 
healthy diet for a young man who wants to get his muscles 
hard and keep his wind good?" it will be seen that it should 
not be difficult to give some short and simple rules for guid- 
ance. 

The staple articles of an athlete's diet should be composed 
of plain-cooked meats and a reasonable quantity of fresh fruit 
and vegetables. Beef, mutton and chickens are more digesti- 
ble than veal and pork, and should be more frequently eaten, 
as indeed is the case in ordinary life; but to treat veal and 
pork as so much poison, as some trainers do, is simply silly. 
Taken occasionally by a man who is accustomed to them, they 
form a pleasing change, and, where a healthy man has an ap- 
petite for any food, one can pretty safely say that he can 
digest it. Fish is light and nutritious, and may judiciously bo 
taken at any meal in the day. Soft-boiled eggs are both light 
and wholesome, but to eat them on the top of a heavy feed of 
steak or chops is a huge mistake, and leads to the usual re- 
sult of over-feeding— biliousness. 

The most rigid of the trainers of the present day give 
chops or steaks and eggs for breakfast ; beef or mutton and 
vegetables for lunch; and beef or mutton again for dinner, 
together with stewed fruit and rice or bread pudding. This 
is a good sample of diet, wo have no doubt; but variety is 



ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. . 19 

pleasing, and as soon as any food, however healthy, begins to 
pall, it should be changed for something which, although less 
digestible, will please, and therefore reinvigorates the trainee. 

Eegarding eatables common sense tells a man that heavy 
pastry, or "stodgy " sweet puddings, or highly spiced dishes, 
are not healthy food, and that the less that is taken of them 
the better for an athlete ; but, at the same time, one requisite 
for a healthy diet is that a man should like it. Porridge 
makes an admirable dish for breakfast, but not to a man who 
doesn't like it. Pepper and mustard may possibly be delete- 
rious to the coats of the stomach, and tea without sugar may 
possibly be healthier than tea with sugar ; but if a man dis- 
likes his beef without mustard, or his tea without sugar, he 
had much better use these codiments than go without them, 
.and he will do well to have kidneys and bacon for breakfast 
rather than to force down his throat the admirable porridge 
which he may not happen to like. Nothing which is unpala- 
table should be eaten as a duty. 

Many men in training have the chief meal in the middle of 
the day, and a great many doctors recommend this as more 
healthy, saying that the digestion is stronger in the earlier 
part of the day, and that when the body is jaded after the 
day's work it is not fair to put a strain upon the digestion in 
its weakened state. Whether this view be right we do not 
pretend to say, and content ourselves with offering the prac- 
tical advice that the athlete should dine at that hour when he 
feels most hungry. Men who are accustomed to dine in the 
evening may, we think, advantageously stick to their old 
practice wlien in training, and take their chief meal after their 
day's work. Of one thing we feel convinced, that a man in 
training (unless his consumptive powers are as abnormal as 
those of Milo of Crotona) does not want a heavy lunch and a 
heavy dinner as well. If he dine in the middle of the day, his 
breakfast and supper should be lighter in proportion, and if 
he dine late he will only want a light lunch of a chop or a plate 
of cold beef and vegetables, with little or nothing else. On 
the whole we prefer the system of a good breakfast, light 
lunch, and a moderate dinner after the day's work. 

Another important item in the daily life of the trainee is 
the amount of liquid he should take. He should never drink 
between meals unless ho is absolutely thirsty, in which case 



20 ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 

he should drink to assuage his thirst and not for enjoyment; 
and at meal times he should drink as much as he reasonably 
feels a craving for. If the drink be unnaturally stinted, the 
man will soon break down, his skin ■will get unhealthy, and 
his sleep and digestion will be impaired. 

Doubtless it is quite true that a couple of good-sized cups of 
tea at breakfast, half a pint of sound ale or beer for lunch and 
a pint at dinner is enough for most men in training ; but to 
hold that a man who finds himself parched after his exercise 
at 4 o'clock is to wait until his dinner at 6 o'clock before he 
can touch a drop of liquid is to turn a useful generalization 
into a ridiculous rule. 



Crowth and Decay of Muscular Power. 

The food, after maceration by the teeth, and solution by the 
action of the saliva, gastric and other juices, is taken up by a 
system of vessels, and mingling with the nervous blood, it is 
carried to the heart, whence it is sent to the lungs to be aer- 
ated, and back again by another set of vessels to the heart, 
to be finally pumped through the arteries to all parts of the 
body, carrying materials for the repair of the tissue, and pro- 
duction of heat. In the very minute terminatious of the 
capilliary arteries in those structures, where the molecular 
change of the body goes on, the current of the blood is very 
slow, to enable the warmth and sustenance of the body to be 
kept up by the chemical actions of distribution and reproduc- 
tion of tissue, the oxygen in the arterial blood obtained from 
the lungs is carried throughout the system and assists these 
actions, therefore, perfect respiration and pure air are great 
promotors of change of tissue. This shows the necessity of 
the blood being in a sufficiently liquid state to hold gases and 
nutritive matter in solution for the purposes of oxidizing tis- 
sue, and of forming flesh. The amount of water in the blood 
determines, to a great extent, the health of the body, the 
blood being the organ of the vital processes of change; the 
severe restrictions on liquid imposed on those in training, 
who, by arduous exercise, waste much tissue and need much 
repair, are, therefore, physiologically wrong. The action of 
the air on the skin stimulates the secretion and exercise, and 
by indirectly raising the heat of the body, it induces 



ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 21 

perspiration, which is nature's remedy to keep the tem- 
perature of the body constant. Evaporation and secretion 
require water. On a daily average, two pounds of water are 
thrown off by the skin in moderate exercise. Water forms 
seventy per cent, of the whole body, and for the digestive 
fluids, the proportion of water to solid is as 12 to 1. Liquidity 
is necessary also, for the actual processes of decay and repair, 
by causing the passage of fluids of different densities through 
the various animal membranes from the oxidation of nervous 
blood in the moist air of the lung cells to the repair of the 
tissues by the smallest capillary in the extremities. 

Want of liquid causes a stagnation of the circulation, and 
an inflammatory state of the body, and it excites the nervous 
system to an extraordinary degree, owing to this want, under 
the usual system of training regimen, the body is frequently 
in a state of fever about the second week, until, either the 
trainer gives up the preparation, or his constitution had tem- 
porarily accommodated itself to the change at the expense of 
his vital energy. 

The nourishment of the body by the food taken is important 
in its regard to health, and in its variety. The primary ob- 
ject of. food is to form blood, and according to the condition 
in which the body receives it, greater or less nutriment, at 
the same expense of vital activity, will be obtained. The as- 
sistance of nature, by proper cooking and careful selection of 
articles, is in our own hands. Our vegetables should be well 
cooked, and the animal food should be done so as to retain the 
juices of the meat. Let it be rather under than overdone ; 
brown meat is more nutritious than white. If the digestion 
is good, the athlete need not be particular as to description 
of food; rich sauces are not to be recommended, or even 
heavy puddings, but jellies and light ones are most acceptable. 
A healthy, robust man, in hard work, may eat anything in 
moderation. The food should be well masticated, to enable 
the saliva to dissolve the starchy matter in it, and also to 
prevent a sudden loading of the stomach. The blood during 
digestion is principally employed about the stomach ; exercise 
or mental work therefore directly after a meal will retard the 
operation of digestion by taking away the blood to the limbs 
or brain. The time of taking meals, and the quantity at each 
may vary with each individual. Two good meals a day and 



22 ALL-ABOUND ATHLETICS. 

one light one are sufficient for any athlete. It is better not 
to drink between meals, and at meals, to sip the liquor, not 
to bolt it. After severe exercise, a good night's rest is indis- 
pensable, and we would fix eight hours as the minimum. 

By sleep, fresh energy, muscular and nervous, is stored up 
for the next period of activity. The internal organs still con- 
tinue their round of motion in a diminished degree, but those 
of locomotion which have been severely taxed in the daytime 
are at perfect rest, and need it in proportion to their past ex- 
ertion. Great mental activity requires much repose ; and we 
find that the athlete of nervous temperament in hard exercise 
requires nine or ten hours' rest. 

In the winter more sleep is required than in summer, from 
the fact that the activity of the system in keeping up its 
warmth, etc., though of shorter duration, is greater; while, 
as a rule, in summer a certain amount of rest is taken at in- 
tervals in the daytime. Sleep after food is often required by 
nervous persons of weak digestion, but the robust athlete is 
better without it, an amusing book, light study, etc., taking 
its place. Before going to bed, if a hearty meal has been 
eaten, a short turn in the open air will be beneficial in cooling 
the system. It is a mistaken innovation of the age to have 
fresh, cold air in a bedroom at night, the stimulus given to the 
lungs by continued supplies of oxygen tends to increase the 
waste of the body, to abstract its warmth, and to prevent the 
repose of the system, which is essential to its renovation. 
The ventilation of a bedroom at night is amply provided for 
by a chimney; in rooms without air the window may be 
slightly opened at the top. Since warm air induces sleep and 
restraining waste x it seems fairly to be inferred that during 
the period of repose, the waste of the tissue and the abstrac- 
tion of warmth from the body, can be lessened by keeping off 
the cold night air. A glance at the habits of animals who 
crowd together for warmth during sleep will show the force 
of our argument. We are not dealing with any cases of ill- 
health, etc., when the object is to remove the impure air con- 
taining the germs of infection as soon as possible. A mattress 
gives the soundest sleep ; the quantity of clothing should bo 
sufficient to keep up a gentle exhalation from the skin. Wo 
have not placed any limit as to the amount of food at each 
meal; the quantity must vary with the exercise, weather and 



ALL-ABOUND ATHLETICS. 23 

constitution of each individual. Instinct prompts us to re- 
plenish the furnace, for if there is no fuel in the furnace the 
human engine consumes its own structure. It has been 
proved by the experiments of Ghossat that the body in daily 
work loses about 1-24 of its weight, and that life ceases when 
the waste has reduced it to three-fifths of its original weight. 
In the nerves, however, the loss is hardly perceptible, while 
the fat suffers in double the proportion of the muscle, 'oo and 
45 per cent, respectively. 

This may well explain the nervous excitability of the body 
when kept beyond its regular time for food, or when supplied 
with food of deficient quality. The arrangement of the in- 
ternal mechanism must go on, respiration continues, circula- 
tion and heat result, at the expense of the machine itself. By 
regularity in meals the stomach accommodates itself to the 
change of action and repose, and the system harmonizes 
with it. 

In discussing the improvement of health, the principal or- 
gans of the body will next demand consideration, their actions 
in intent being sufficiently identical for the purposes of de- 
scription : though they vary, however, in snch an amazing 
degree in their character and quality as to become a study of 
great importance to those physiologically interested in train- 
ing. The peculiar nature of life, its unknown source, and its 
relation to circumstances, make the laying down of funda- 
mental rules in detail for its improvement beyond the sub- 
stance of our remarks. The operation of external forces, viz., 
air, heat, food, etc., on an organized mechanism, contribute 
principally to the production of vital force, and, to a certain 
extent, their action can be reduced to rules. But why this 
subtle force should be so capricious in its quantity and quality 
we are at a loss to know. The training off of an athlete is 
often a direct loss of vital energy from one cause or another, 
as it is of an actual reduction of muscular substance. Both 
cases occur, and the reasons we can assign are frequently 
correct; but why two athletes, organized machines under the 
same exterior circumstances, and, with a preparation, for the 
Sake of hypothesis, equally favorable to eaoh, of the same 
weight, height and measurement, should be invariably dif- 
ferent in power and endurance in a contest, we can ascribe to 
nothing but the specific vital force of each individual. 



24 ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 

This fact is much overlooked in all preparations for athletic 
contests wnere a severe strain is put upon the constitution, 
as in running, jumping and weight throwing. 

W hen so delicate a structure as the human body is submit- 
ted to the operation of air, food and exercise, so powerful for 
evil, as Bellas for good, it may be supposed that every possi- 
ble variety in vital motions thence resulting will be displayed. 
Excess, defect, or nice adjustment here play a more impor- 
tant part in affecting health than they do in the construction 
of the organism itself. The forces employed to drive the ma- 
chinery require more care in application than is necessary, or 
even possible, in the securing of a good constitution of the 
machine itself The latter we have to take as we find it. The 
former are placed by Providence very much under our con- 
trol. And it is upon their proper use or abuse that all of 
health taken individually, which we have it in our power to 
influence, depends. 

Treatment of Accidents Occurring in Training. 

Blisters on the hands and feet occur — on the hands from 
throwing the 5(Mb. weight and hammer, and on the feet from 
walking or running, in both cases without due precaution. 
When on the hands they should be pricked with a hue needle— 
if this can be done before they have burst. The needle should 
be inserted obliquely, and the watery fluid contained in the 
blister should then be pressed out; and this should be repeated 
as soon as the blister has filled a second or third time. In this 
way the contact of the air is avoided, and in two days the true 
skin becomes protected by a new cuticle or scarf-skin. If, un- 
fortunately, the blister is broken, the best plan is to apply 
some collodion with a brush; but it gives considerable pain, 
and seldom remains on more than six hours, after which time 
it requires renewal. If possible, some time should elapse 
before the hammer or weight is taken in hand and then a kid 
glove should be worn. 

When the feet are the seat of the mischief, there is the same 
necessity for the preservation of the cuticle, and the needle 
should be used in the same way; if, however, this protect Ion 
fe removed, a piece of fine kid should be spread with soap 
plaster, and applied over the skin, extending for at least half 
an inch beyond the blister in every direction. This treatment 



ALL-ABOUND ATHLETICS. 25 

answers on the feet, while on the hands it is wholly useless, 
because the friction of the hammer handle soon rubs off the 
plaster while under the shoe it remains tolerably well and 
smoothly applied. 

Corns and Bunions— Blisters are troublesome enough to 
the athlete, but corns are a thousand times worse. The for- 
mer are only temporary evils, while the latter are a perpetual 
cause of discomfort and misery. Corns are of two kinds, hard 
and soft; and this distinction is not only dependent upon 
situation, as some people imagine, for the essence and even 
the cause of a soft corn are entirely different and distinct 
from those producing the hard variety. The soft corn only 
occurs between the toes, and partakes more of a warty charac- 
ter than that of the true corn. There is really a growth of 
the cutis or true skin, which shoots up some little sprouts 
covered with a cheesy matter, and these become exquisitely 
painful if pressed upon by the adjoining toe. On the other 
hand, the true or hard corn is simply an effort of nature to 
protect a part unduly pressed upon ; but the effort is carried 
to an inordinate extent. It is an over secretion or formation 
of cuticle, which, as it becomes thicker and harder, is again 
pressed into the influenced cutis by the shoe, and thus, by 
acting as a foreign body, aggravates the mischief, and causes 
it also to react on itself, by increasing the already inordinate 
secretion of cuticle. Thus these causes act and react on each 
other, till you often find a deep process of hardened cuticle 
driven into the skin, and which is often called the root of the 
corn. But it must be understood that these do not grow first, 
but are the last results of a very obstinate aud long-stand- 
ing mischief. In all cases, the corn, first of all, has no root 
whatever ; its growth is not from within outwards, but from 
without inwards, and the term " root," therefore, is misap- 
plied. Bunions are different in appearance and character 
from either hard or soft corns ; they are frequently caused by 
pressure, but in them the skin is not the seat of the inflamma- 
tion, but the synovial bag on the inner side of the ball of the 
great toe, or sometimes on the outer side of the foot or on the 
instep. In all cases they are soft, pulpy, bag-like projections, 
often, though not always, without hardness or roughness of 
skin. They are attended with great pain and tenderness, and 
cause considerable lameness. 



26 ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 

The treatment of soft corns should be as follows : "With the 
nail pick off as much of the cheesy matter as can be removed; 
then, if the next day can be given up apply a piece of lunar 
caustic to the surface, rubbing it pretty well in, but avoiding 
contact with the adjoining skin. After this keep a piece of 
cotton between the toes night and day, and it will be found 
that after twenty-four hours' rest all pain will have disap- 
peared, the surface will have lost its moisture, and will have 
become hard, black and dry. If the cotton is renewed daily 
this state of ease will be maintained for a week or ten days; 
but then it is necessary to pick off the blackened surface and 
re-apply the caustic, again using the cotton. This second ap- 
plication will probably last a fortnight, but by that time the 
edges of the blackened cuticle becomes loose, and the applica- 
tion should be repeated; but not till three weeks have elapsed. 
In this way by three or four applications the most obstinate 
and painful set of corns yield to treatment, and become per- 
manently cured ; but the skin between the toes should be kept 
constantly washed and rubbed with a soft towel, so as to re- 
move every particle of secretion daily. With regard to hard 
corns, nothing will be effectual as a cure unless the pressure 
which caused them is discontinued. In that case they require 
very little treatment; but if it is continued, as it must be when 
tliey occur at the sole of the foot, the only remedies are pallia- 
tive, and require constant and careful repetition . Chiropodists 
are constantly holding certain hopes of a cure, but this is a 
fraud upon the unwary, and only leads to the picking of their 
pockets. Anyone, however, who has the use of his hands may 
readily treat his own corns, if he will attend to the following 
directions : In the first place, the cuticle should never be al- 
lowed to grow to such a degree as to occasion pain ; it should 
be carefully removed before that time, and the best instru- 
ment for its removal is a pair of nail-scissors ; with these a 
small piece of the thickened cuticle should be caught hold of 
and raised from its bed at the same time, then gradually closing 
the blades, it is removed without any great pain ; for if much 
is given, it is only necessary to raise the scissors still more, 
and, as it were, drag the corn out of its bed, when the pain 
ceases, and the excision of that portion is effected. After re- 
moving this small slice, another slice is to be taken hold of 
and removed in the same way, till all vestige of the hardened 



ALL-AROUND athletics. 27 

cuticle is gone ; after which it may either be covered with a 
piece of wash-leather, spread with soap plaster, or left to its 
fate. The former is of course the better plan ; but, if the corn 
is removed as often and as fast as it grows, there is no neces- 
sity for adopting: it. This treatment will, generally suffice, 
but not in very obstinate cases. Such cases, however, are sel- 
dom adapted for training, and therefore are not within my 
province. 

Boils — These are an effort of nature to get 'rid of 'a dead 
piece of cellular membrane by means of inflammatory action. 
In consequence of some peculiar condition of the blood, of the 
exact nature of which very little is known, a death (or slough- 
ing, as it is called) of a portion of cellular membrane takes 
place close under the true skin; to remove this foreign body 
nature sets up an inflammation, which is invariably of a slow 
and congestive character, It appears as if the poisonous 
nature of the slough irritates the surrounding parts to.such 
a degree as in some measure to interfere with the process of 
absorption, and, consequently, a painful and hardened circle 
of swelled and reddened skin is formed around the dead cell. 
In most cases the thickening is so great as to stop the circu- 
lation of the interior of the circle and the boil remains sta- 
tionary for a long time. The only remedy for this condition 
is either the application of some stimulating greasy applica- 
tion, such as a linseed poultice, or the division by means 
of a knife. Either of these remedies more or less speedily 
puts an end to the inactive condition, and then a healthy 
suppuration goes on to remove the cell, and by throwing up 
fresh granulations, as they are called, to restore what has 
been removed. Such is the nature and ordinary treatment of 
a boil, but in training it is almost impossible to bear the use 
of a knife, if the boil is in any part that is subjected to much 
friction. 

Hemorrhoids, or as they are commonly called, piles, are 
very often exceedingly troublesome in training; they are 
generally symptomatic of congestion of the liver, and are re- 
lieved by those measures which remove that condition. The 
reason for this is obvious— the veins which return the blood 
to the heart from the lower bowels pass through the liver on 
their way, and consequently whatever impedes the passage of 
the blood through them has a tendency to produce the effect 



28 ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 

on the haernorrhoidal veins. Haemorrhoids are, in fact, vari- 
cose veins in the rectum, sometimes bleeding, in consequence 
of their wall giving way ; they are also divided into external 
and internal piles, the distinction, however, being only one of 
situation. It will be unnecessary for me to describe the ap- 
pearance of these troublesome little swellings, as they are so 
exceedingly common to be well known to almost everyone. 
In their treatment three points are to be attended to— first, 
to unload the liver; secondly, to prevent mechanical visita- 
tion by the presence and passage of solid forces; and, thirdly, 
to allay the inflammation already existing by local remedies. 
The first and second of these objects may generally be com- 
bined, but in very badly congestive state of the liver a dose 
or two of blue mas pills may be given in addition to this rem- 
edy.. It should be avoided, however, if possible, as its imme- 
diate effect is rather to aggravate than to allay the local irri- 
tation. Generally speaking, the following remedy will be the 
best, acting in the double capacity which I have alluded to: 
Take of powdered brimstone half an ounce; cream of tartar 
and powdered jalap, of each two drachms; powdered ginger, 
one drachm ; electuary of senna, three ounces ; syrup of buck- 
thorn, enough to make an electuary, of which one teaspoonful 
may be taken every night. This quantity should be increased 
or diminished so as to keep the bowels gently moved every 
day. When the bowels are usually sufficiently relaxed, but 
the piles are still painful, then give five grains of the confec- 
tion of black pepper, with an equal quantity of common pitch, 
night and morning, made into two pills. As a local remedy, 
when the irritation is great and recently come on, the use of 
very hot water with a sponge to the parts two or three times 
a day will afford great relief. This should be followed by the 
application of a little of the following ointment: Take of 
gallic acid and finely powdered opium, of each one drachm; 
ointment of acetate of lead, an ounce and a half. When the 
piles are of long standing these remedies may be used ; but, 
in addition, four ounces of cold water should be thrown up 
into the rectum immediately before each time that the bowels 
act. By these methods of treatment piles may almost always 
be relieved, and generally cured ; but on the recurrence of a 
disordered liver, they will be sure to reappear, and therefore 
that condition must be guarded against. 



AL.L-AKOUND ATHLETICS. 29 

Acute Bheumatism is quite incompatible with training, and 
its treatment need not, therefore, enter into our inquiry. 
Chronic rheumatism, on the other hand, is constantly interfer- 
ing with hard work, and its attacks are anxiously to be avoided. 
It may be divided into muscular rheumatism and rheumatism 
of the joints; the former shows itself by occurrence of pain, 
often very severe, on the slightest movement or attempt at 
movement, even of the particular muscle or muscles attacked, 
which again are generally quite free from pain while quies- 
cent. On pressing upon the muscles attacked great pain and 
soreness occur, and the seat of the disease in this way may be 
discovered; on the other hand, when the ligaments around 
the joints, it requires the joint itself to be moved, either 
actively or passively, before pain is experienced. Thus, sup- 
posing there to be rheumatism of the arm, if the upper and 
lower arms are firmly grasped, so as to iix the elbow, and the 
patient is told to bend the elbow, if muscular rheumatism is 
present he will give himself even more pain than usual ; but 
if the joint only is affected, no pain, or much less than usual 
will be felt. During training, whenever rheumatism is so 
severe as to require internal medicine, the disease is of such a 
nature as to demand rest; but it often happens that local 
remedies will suffice, and this is particularly the case with 
muscular rheumatism. It is generally in those muscles which 
are more particularly called into play by the nature of the ex- 
ercise that rheumatism shows itself, and every time exercise 
is taken the rheumatic condition only goes off during use, to 
return with increased activity after a rest. In all these cases 
prevention is better than cure, and all unnecessary exposure 
of the body should be avoided, especially if in cold or wet 
weather. Flannel should be worn next the skin during the 
day, and after stripping, the coat should be put on again with- 
out delay. As a local remedy, one of the following may be 
tried, and I give them in the order of their severity, begin- 
ning with the mildest. First, take of tincture of capsicum 
half an ounce, spirits of camphor one ounce ; tincture of arnica, 
one drachm; mix; on using it add an equal quantity of hot 
brandy, and rub the part affected for a quarter of an hour. 
Secondly, take a liquor of ammonial, spirits of turpentine, 
laudanum and neatsfoot oil, equal parts; mix and rub in be- 
fore a good fire twice a day. These remedies will often allay 



30 ALL-AROUND ATHLETICS. 

any muscular rheumatism which may occur in training, and I 
have even known rheumatism, when attacking the joints, 
subside on the use of the last mentioned application. As I 
before said, more remedies are incompatible with training. 

Varicose Veins — By this term is meant an enlargement of 
the veins, generally of the leg, accompanied by a breakdown 
or insufficiency of the valves which are situated at short inter- 
vals along their course, so that the veins bulge out in places, 
and become much more tortuous than usual. The disease 
appears to depend upon some natural or rather congenital 
weakness in the structure of the coat of the veins; at all 
events we know no other cause. Many families are quite ex- 
empt, while others, again, are almost in every case predis- 
posed to their occurrence. A radical cure may often be ef- 
fected by the surgeon, but it is not unattended with danger. 
Still, few of those who suffer from them are capable of going 
through severe wear while afflicted in this way, and therefore, 
in most cases, either the operation must be done or all severe 
training must be abandoned. 

As a palliative measure, the elastic stocking may be tried, 
but the heat of the parts is so much increased by their use 
that few people wear them without suffering material incon- 
venience. In spite of the pain and danger of the operation, I 
confess that were I subject to varicose veins, I should incur 
both without a moment's hesitation. In some cases a thin 
slip of elastic band, about a quarter of an inch wide, may be 
worn with effect. It should be applied spirally from the top 
to the bottom of the leg at about two inches interval. This is 
not so hot as the stocking, and in mild cases acts equally 
well.

MOW TO SCORE 

THE INDIVIDUAL ALL-AROUNP 

CHAMPIONSHIP. 

The following Is an explanation of the system 
by which the annual contests for the Id dividual 
all-around athletic championship are scored, 
and also the tables used by the officials. Com- 
piled by W. B. Curtis, and published in the 
Spirit of the Times 

The principle of the rules now in force is as 
follows: In each event the world's best ama- 
teur record is taken as a' maximum for which 
1.000 points are allowed. Then a standard or 
limit is established, and performances equal to». 
or worse than these stand ards score nothing-. 
For performances between the maximum and 
the limit, points are allowed in accordance with 
graded scales, which we print below. 

For instance, the maximum for the 100-yard 
run is 9^s.— the world's best amateur record— 
and the standard or limit is 14%s. T he rum 
scores from 9fgs. up to 14%s.. allowing 1,000 
points for 9^-j. and 42 points less for each y&9. 
above 9%i. For instance, 30s. scores 958 
points; 10^3.. 916 points; lis., 748 points; 13s.. 
328 points; 14s., 118 points; 14%s . 34 points; 
and H%3„ no points. For times slower than 
14%3. nothing is scored. For times taster than 
9^3. 1,000 is scored, and 42 additional points 
for each fifth of a second better than 9^s. 

The 1-mile run. the half mile walk and the 
120-yai'd hurdle race are scored in the same 
manner, but each with its own maximum and 
limit. 

Again, in the running broad jump, the maxi- 
mum is 23ft. 6^in.— the worlds best record— 
and the standard or limit is 13ft. lin. The 
jump scores from 23ft. 6^in. down to 13ft. lin.. 
allowing 1.000 points for 23ft. 6»^in. and 8 
points less for each inch below 23ft. 6V6in. For 
instance, 2 If t. scores 756 points, 20ft. 4in. 692 
points. 14ft. 84; points, 13ft. 2in. 4 points, and 
13ft. lin. 0. For jumps shorter than 13ft. lin. 
nothing is scored. For jumps longer than 23ft. 
6>^in. 1,000 points are scored and 8 additional 
points for each inch better than 23ft 6Hin. - 

The running high jump, pole vault, shot- 
putting, hammer throwing and weight throw- 
ing are scored in the s&rne manner, but each 
with its own maximum and limit. 



SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CONDUCT OF 
THE 100-YARD RUN AND 120-YARD HURDLE 
RACE. 

Ordinary timing watches cannot record any 
fraction of time less than a fifth of a second, 



34 ALE-ABOUND ATHLETICS. 

and at the finish of a 100-yard run or ] 20-yard 
hurdle race the runners cover from 4 fee*" to 7 
feet in a fifth of a second. Hence, one runner 
might be 3 feet or 4 feet or 5 feet or even 6 
feet behind another and yet the watches would 
give the same time for each of the two. This '-{ 
or 4 or 5 or 6 feet would be worth 15 or 20 or 
25 or 30 points in the hurdle race, and 21 or .,8 
or 35 or 42 points in the 100 yard run. Conse- 
quently, in order to get a fair score, the con- 
testants must not be timed separately, but 
only the first man must be timed and the 
others must be scored by their distance behind 
the winner. 

The final 10 yards of the course should be 
marked off with whitewash lines one foot 
apart iust as is done at the start of handicaps. 

The judges should statior Chemselves in 
such positions as will enable them to note ac- 
curately the distance from the finish lirie of 
the second, third and fourth men at the 
moment the hrst man touches the tape. 

if tbere are only tour contestants all may be 
allowed to start in one heat, although heats of 
three won Id be better, because more easily 'and 
accurately judged. If there are more than four 
contestants, they should be divided into heats of 
not more than three starters. The fastest three 
men, as nearly as the officials can judge, 
should b3 placed in one heat, the next three in 
speed in the next heat, and so on down to the 
slowest three for tr.e last heat. In this way 
the finishes will be closer than if fast and slow 
men were started together, and the judging 
will be more accurate. 

When the judges announce the distances be- 
tween the contestants the scorers wili -allow 
points as follows: 

In the 100-yard run, to the first man the 
points allowed in table for his time, to the sec- 
ond, third and fourth men the points allowed 
for the first man s time, less seven points for 
each foot that each man is behind the winner. 

For instance, if the judges should reportas 
follows: A wins in 10^s.; B second, by 2 feet; 
C third, by 3 feet, and D fourth, by a foot. 
The score will be: A, 790; R, 790. less 2 feet, at 
7 points, equals 14 points— 776 points. C, 790. 
less 5 feet, at 7 points, equals 35 points— 755 
points. D, 790 points, less 6 feet, at 7 points, 
equals 42 points— 748 points. 

In 120-yard hurdle race, to the fir3t man the 
points allowed in table for his time; to the 
second, third and fourth men, the points al- 
lowed in table for the first man's time, less five 
points for each foot that each man is behind 
the winner.

For instance, if the judges should report as 
follows: A, first, in 17^9.; B, second, by a 
foot; C, tnird, by 4 feet, D, fourtn, by 3 feet, 
the score would be made up as follows: A, 760
